| | Ahura Mazda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ahura Mazda, derived from the Old Persian Aura-Mazda ("Aura" - Lord, "Mazda" - Wisdom) symbolizes the supreme deity of Zoroastrian and Mazdean religions. | | | Ahura Mazda is the abstract and transcendant god of Zoroastrianism (official religion of ancient Persia). | | | Ahura Mazda is referred to as Ormazd in modern Persian. |

| | Ahura Mazda |
| | Ahura Mazda is not the only god in the universe of Zoroastrianism, and he is not the sole creator of the world. | | | While there are historical sources indicating that Ahura Mazda comes from indo-iranian religions, in which there were two categories of gods, ahuras and daivas, Ahura Mazda only appears in connection with Zoroastrianism, the religion that has its origins in the preaching of Zarathustra, around 600 BCE. | | | The other deities belonged to the same pantheon from which it is believed that Zarathustra once took Ahura Mazda, positioning him in an elevated state. |

| | TEMPLE OF ZOROASTER |
| | Confident in the truth revealed to him by Ahura Mazda, Zoroaster apparently did not try to overthrow belief in the older Iranian religion, which was polytheistic; he did, however, place Ahura Mazda at the centre of a kingdom of justice that promised immortality and bliss. | | | Having received a vision from Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, who appointed him to preach the truth, Zoroaster apparently was opposed in his teachings by the civil and religious authorities in the area in which he preached. | | | Zoroaster rejected the cults of all the gods except one ahura, Ahura Mazda, the "Wise Lord." It is not certain that Zoroaster was the first to proclaim Ahura Mazda. |

| | Ahura Mazda/Angra Mainyu |
| | Ahura Mazda is the god of Zoroastrianism (from ancient Persia, now Iran.) Zoroaster was one of the first monotheists; his Ahura Mazda was the one true god, bringer of both light and darkness. | | | Ahura Mazda had various personified aspects, and darkness and evil was personified as Angra Mainyu. | | | As Zoroastrianism evolved, Angra Mainyu was elevated to a near-equal of Ahura Mazda, and Zoroastrianism became the most purely dualistic religion that I know of. |

| | One basic rule is that two members of the name of God (Ahura Mazda 'Wise Lord') can be inverted (Mazda Ahura) and that Ahura and Mazda (or Mazda and Ahura) can also stand separated from each other. | | | In Yasna 28 the member Ahura is preferably place before the caesura or at the end of the line (see 28,3.4.5.6.9.10.11 vs. 28.8). | | | This observation also applies to 28.9 where the caesura separates Ahura from Mazda, which means that this instance of the name of God is not necessarily an exact pre-form of the Old Persian Auramazda and Pahlavi Ohrmazd, pointing to the rendering 'O Ahura, O Mazda' rather than O Ahura Mazda'. |
